I don't think the fireball thing will be adequately explained until the movie comes out -- and even then, we may *still* not know what caused the massive explosion or the fireballs.

It could wind up being a simple case of Hollywood excess: ("I want the BIGGEST GODDAM EXPLOSION you can put together. Nevermind what causes it or if it's not even close to real-world physics...I want something that goes BOOOOOM!")

But a *possible* explanation, based on supposed "insider" reports (which you can take with a grain of salt, of course), is that the explosion takes place in the HARBOR, not on land. Specifically, an oil tanker explodes; and the fireballs raining down are supposed to be burning oil barrels hurled a mile or so inland from the force of the explosion. (And for the record, that *has* happened in the real world before...Google the Texas City explosion of 1947 or 48, when a freighter full of ammonium nitrate blew up and barrels were blasted well over a mile inland.)

1-18-08 trialer and present evidence

Jamie having a UTI really sticks out to me, why bring this up?

along with promiscuity, and/or lack of sex/ or lack of personal hygiene from internet based Medical Encyclopedia:

Other factors may also increase a woman's risk of developing UTI including pregnancy, having urinary tract infections or bladder infections as a child, having past menopause, and diabetes.

[HerOdyssey]

I agree that in both videos they make sure that the UTI is mentioned (or at least indicated by a glass of cranberry coloured drink). It seems too contrived to be just something in passing. It could be a symptom of something other than the standard medical stuff... something related to the consumption of Slusho, or a side-effect of some environmental changes.... Who knows. But I don't think it would be so prominent if it weren't something of note.

Lastly, Jamie is Growing in a pot on her Myspace Profile?

Here's an old idea I had. There's something called a reverse IP lookup. Basically, you input the IP info of a known 1-18-08 site into a search engine and it returns all the other site hosted on that same IP. Problems, I think there could be potentially thousands of sites hosted on a single IP, it assumes they'd register multiple 1-18-08 sites on the same IP, and as far as I can tell (just did a cursory look), you have to pay/join to get the search results. Anyway, the stuff is way over my head.

OK I wasn't gonna go there but...

UTIs are more likely to occur the more sex that a girl has, at least that's what most (females) believe. I can get into the graphic details of why this is so, but I'd rather not. So the implication of this is: (1) Teddy and Jamie had a lot of lovin before they left or (2) Jamie has been gettin alot of lovin lately from someone other than Teddy. I think that's what they're trying to imply.

no one is visibly pregnant in the trailer. fireball could = ruptured(sp?) gas line.

[Melampus]

I agree that fireball is ruptured gasline, or some other volatile part of NYC infrastructure.

And, that's true - there's no visibly pregnant women in the trailer; but, Jamie's not in the trailer either (she's in the pic on 1-18-08.com, but she's not in the trailer, at least not that anyone can see).
